From Denny: The author of the famed hilarious rocking fantasy world of the Dr. Seuss books was Theodor Seuss Geisel. He has entertained generations of children who remain fans into adulthood.
"The Cat in the Hat" was written with a mere 225 words and was created as a reader for children.
His book illustrations are pure whimsy and by his own hand. Geisel was a talented illustrator and cartoonist that worked for Standard Oil Company doing ad campaigns for 15 years.
He so charmed children that he taught millions of them to read - and succeeded at his endeavor for four generations!
